A powerful novel of honor, forgiveness, and unquenchable faith--set at the end of the Civil War. Quentin Larribee is a surgeon, but in the confusion at the end of the Civil War, his healing hands... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Gilbert Morris is one of my favorite authors, and IMO, Edge of Honor is one of his best. While perhaps slightly predictable, it is no less engaging, and definitely action packed. The characters, especially Quentin and Eden are deep and well developed; even the children. But, the book was really enhanced by the crazy character of Ben Calendar and his unexpected story. Very endearing story...makes me want to float down the Mississippi and look for this farm.
I love reading Gilbert Morris!

Reading his books are like sitting down with a cup of tea in front of a fireplace and having a heart to heart talk with Dad! All of his books are so interesting, so full of romance, adventure, and depth of character! Edge of honor was superb! The Lord always talks to me through Gilbert Morris writings!
A wonderful Civil War romance

I found this book to be written exceptionaly well. It's nothing less than what Gilbert Morris usually writes. However, it was a bit hard to believe the situation happening, although it definatly could. I found it romantic and enjoyable reading, but give it a four because it didn't give me quite as big a thrill in reading it as most of his other work does. It was however, a wonderful book and I would still highly recomend it for reading. You will go with a northerner as he travels to the south to help out a woman whose husband, he has killed during the end of the Civil War. It was an accident that he killed this man and finds it his responsiblity to care for his wife. So off he sets to help her, but finds love instead. Go with him as he travels to a place that people have made him feel less than welcome. Enjoy your reading!

Happened across this book in the bookstore. I have never read any other books by this author, but I was intrigued by the storyline on the book jacket and the time period (I love Civil War era history). I couldn't put this book down (there is life without the internet! ) and finished it in 3 days. Highly recommend this book!
